The Shape of My Heart is the final book of the 2B Trilogy Series and it focuses on Courtney and Max. Courtney has always been attracted to her friend and roommate Max but they never crossed that line from friends to something more. That is until Max ask Courtney to accompany him to his grandfather funeral. In a couple of days, the blurred lines surrounding their friendship/relationship were crossed. Max and Courtney soon found themselves being friends to lovers. As much as I love the friends to lovers stories, personally it developed so fast for my liking. On the road, Max let Courtney into his past, secrets, and family problems. Courtney was also dealing with a past and issues with her family. She had experienced the loss of her soul mate, Eli when she was 17. Slowly, together Max and Courtney were able to mend their broken past and found comfort and love in each other. Together their broken pieces shaped who they are and slowly began to heal and become whole.

The Shape of My Heart is a enjoyable read but I did not fully love it. It was sweet, romantic and sexy but the long drawn angst and drama was a bit too much for me. I loved Max’s character but I wasn’t a fan of Courtney. I just couldn’t connect to her as much as I would have wanted to. As for the epilogue, I loved it.. It’s always great to see how the other characters are doing. Overall, The Shape of My Heart was a touching and enjoyable coming of age read!!

The power of love is that it can slowly heal all our broken past and with love you can find your home. Home can be starting anew or finding that special person who makes you feel whole. So if u are you looking for a book, that is sweet, romantic, sexy, and touching then I highly suggest you to go read Trashed.

Another one of those books that will pull you in and will have you thinking about it when you are done reading. When I first saw the title of this book, I knew that I had to read it and get my hands on it. As soon as I started reading, I was in my happy book bubble. Each page was a page turner that made me fell in love with the characters.

Adam used to be a pro football player and movie star. At one point, he had to chose which path he wanted to take. So, he chose to be a movie star. He is not your normal Hollywood actor. He hates dressing up, plastering fake smiles and mingling with people in celebrities benefits. That's not just who he is. He's just your typical, normal guy that happens to be a Hollywood star. A normal guy who was instantly attracted to a normal girl. Des Ross was the girl, who literally turned Adam's world upside down. She brought back fire, desire, longing, and lust back into his life. Adam will stop at nothing to get Des's attention. As it so happens, he was able to make Des see that behind the Hollywood glitz and glamour, Adam is just an ordinary guy with a big heart. And so Adam begins his quest to make Des see that she is indeed worth the fight.

Destiny Ross grew up in Detroit. Graduated college with her bachelors in social work and just on her way to her masters. And she's a janitor. She has this wall she put up and will not let anyone in. Des had a mother, who was a crack addict. OD'd when she was three years old and so she ended up in the foster home system. She moved from foster home after foster home growing up. One of the homes, the father molested her. It's the reason why she put up these walls and does not trust anyone easily. She tried pushing Adam away, but he wasn't having it. He knows what he wants and that's Des. And so begins his mission to show Des how important and special she is in his life.

Adam and Destiny's story was an emotional and a HOT DAMN STEAMY read. It had me fanning myself the entire time I was reading. Des struggled with letting people get close after what happened to her in one of her foster homes. She became closed off and only had one best friend. The story is about moving on, being independent, loyalty and understanding the true meaning of LOVE. Taking a risk and not being afraid to be make yourself happy. I loved it and I can't wait to read more of your writing Jasinda.

‘Til Death by Bella Jewel was wickedly and deadly ADDICTING!!! Right off the bat, I was hooked with the prologue alone. It sealed the deal for me and I knew this book was gonna be so good. And let me just tell you it was one satisfying heart-pounding and emotional ride. Your heart will slowly break for the heroine and yet you could not hate the hero because there is a reason for everything. We all know you can’t help who you fall in love with. No love is perfect. And definitely there is no perfect marriage. Marriage is a union of two people joining their lives together based on a bond of love that unites them. But what happens when one gets married for all the right reasons believing that she made the right decision and she married for love? And what happens when one planned to marry her for all the wrong reasons so he can obtained his grandfather’s business? We all the know the vow Til Death do us part, so will Marcus and Katia be able to keep that vow and promise or will they slowly destroy each other’s lives?

Marcus Tandem doesn’t believe in love. For him, love is for the weak. But that all changes, when Marcus has to get married in a year in order to keep his grandfather’s business. Marcus is known to be the man to get what he wants and what he wants and needs is a wife asap. So when he meets Katia, he knew right off the bat she was the perfect target. He played the game of making her fall for him and slowly she was able to be blinded into marrying him. Marcus knew Katia love him but he couldn’t say those three words of I LOVE YOU back to her. It was not something he was accustomed too since his heart is surrounded by a stone wall. Marcus takes and destroys. And slowly he destroys and crushes the soul and parts of his wife, Katia.

Katia was the trusting and lovable wife. She believed everything Marcus told her. There was no doubt that she loved her husband with every fiber of her soul and being. The love she had for him was felt throughout each page. She was the dutiful wife. No matter how much Marcus ignored or hurt her feelings, she was connected and drawn to this deadly man. He had the power to breathe life and happiness into her and at the same time had the power to shatter and destroy her world. Katia would do anything for Marcus but when the truth of his deceit, her world comes crumbling down. So what happens when the angel marries the devil, the angel falls and she becomes insidious. Will Katia be able to make Marcus pay for all his sins, lies and deceit? Or will Marcus be able to let go of his fears of love and admit his true feelings for her?

Nothing in life is clear cut so why shouldn’t Bella Jewel give us a little torture. And Til Death had the right amount of torture, angst, and steam between these two complex characters. I won’t say Marcus is a bad guy or Katia is right but what I can tell you is that no one is perfect. We are all flawed. We all make mistakes. We all fear something. We all fall in love. And we all have our reasonings. Though Marcus and Katia’s story is not how you would start a fairy tale romance and marriage, but who cares. What’s important is the matters of the heart. And I love that Bella Jewel does just that in ‘Til Death. The characters were so raw and vulnerable that you couldn’t help but be drawn to them and try to understand their motives and emotional reasoning. Though this book ends in a cliffy, ‘Til Death is definitely a book that must be read and experienced. It reminds us all love isn't complicated. People are. I seriously can’t wait for part 2 of Marcus and Katia’s story.

Her tears are his. Her pain are his pain. He understood why Emmy wanted to push him away, but he made it clear from the first day that she was rescued that he will be there for her. No matter what, Emmy was his and he knew from the depths of his heart and soul that she felt the same way about him.

Belle Aurora...thank you for writing such an adorable, sweet, fun and sexy book!!! I could not stop laughing and smiling while I was reading Sugar Rush. Truly it was a gem that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling of love. How could you not love a book that had a group of closely knit friends who treats each other like family. And then to top it off, a story that chronicles two friends becoming lovers. Belle Aurora, you have definitely figured out what makes a great romantic comedy. All I can say is that Sugar Rush had a perfect blend of ingredients. This book had consisted of 2lbs of love, 1lb of humor, a pinch of drama, 2 spoonfuls of sweetness, 6 tablespoons of friendship, 1 zest of tenderness, and 1 cup of romance. Mix all those ingredients up and you got yourself a Sugar Rush!!! <3

Sugar Rush by Belle Aurora was flat out funny and charming. I loved this book with its playful banter, friendship, family bonds, and of course the sweet romance. This book definitely lived up to it’s title..it was indeed a Sugar Rush. So if you are looking for a book with lots humor, love and sweetness, then I highly suggest you go read Sugar Rush… It gave me a sugar high and I couldn’t get enough of this dedicant treat that Bella Aurora has concocted.

I can't recommend this highly enough!!! A steamy, off the wall, forbidden love story that will have you wondering how far you would go if you stopped bending the rules. I love it when I'm so invested with a set of characters. I am a sucker for student / teacher romance.

Jill and Eli first met through online dating. They have been talking for about six months and they just hit it off. When Eli received a phone call from his family in Denver and had to take over his father's job as a teacher since his father is sick. He could not for the life of him pack his things fast enough. Knowing that he will be living in the same state as Jill.

Of course it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns. Jill's secret will be revealed and that's when the chaotic forbidden and steamy romance gets complicated. How far will they both keep going to hide the feelings they have for each other out in the open? Will Eli be willing to leave his dream job to be able to experience a once in a lifetime and heartfelt love he has with Jill?

All in all a great romantic read. I was so excited to read this book...a couple I will never forget. It's one of those books that will have you still thinking about it, even after reading it. It was a captivating love story that had me swooning from the first page to the end. Eli and Jill blew me away completely.

True love doesn't come around often and when it does, hold on to it the best you possibly can.Thank you for creating such a beautiful story. Love the angst and that feeling that I get wondering what happens next. Loved it! Awesome job Carly and Missy.

What do you do when being with the man you love is forbidden? You hide it.

She’s in high school and the person she fell in love with is her teacher and is 8yrs her senior. They met online and built a beautiful friendship, that turned into something more. At first they didn’t have to hide what they have, because they were just any couple who fell for each other. Eli though that Jill was 20, of course that’s a lie. He didn’t expect that when he walked into his dad’s high school classroom to sub for him while he takes care of personal issues, that he would walk in to lay eyes on Jill. His world shattered, he had a hard time accepting at first, but he got over it after a while because what he felt for her was real.

Secret relationship happened, they had to hide each other. They couldn’t go on dates, unless it's out of town. They couldn’t talk to each other at school, unless it was about school. Keeping their relationship a secret was hard for them, but they cared about each other so much they couldn’t let go. Jill was very wise for her age and that’s one the reason why Eli fell for her. As for Eli, he is sweet as pie and a very caring boyfriend. He didn’t do anything without thinking of Jill first. There were times when he did something without talking it out with her first, which caused a strain in their relationship. That was only done because Eli was also dealing with his past, that caused him to do things he doesn’t mean at times.

Their secret love was scary at times, specially on those close calls of getting caught. After Jill turned 18, sex with these two are always hot and sexy. Everytime they got a chance to be together, they were never able to keep their hands off each other.

I enjoyed reading this short forbidden love story. At the same time I wasn’t very fond of Jill’s cheating mother. As for her neighbor Jamie..I hated him at first, but after finding out his backstory and his apology to Jill I felt sorry for him. Poor Jaime, I wish I could read a story about him where he finds his own Happily Ever After…That would be awesome.

I of course love the Happy Ending that Jill and Eli deserved, it was a really great ending.

“So am I calculating? Yes, completely. I’m a gold digger, but I’m also smart. Love fades….or it’s selfish...or unkind...but a diamond, a diamond will last forever. And because I’m a cynical bitch, I’m very aware that I need to capitalize on my looks while I still have them because those will fade as well.”

There are authors you like and there are authors you love. And for me, Mia Asher is one of those authors that I love and adore. If you read her first book, Arsen, then you will understand me when I say that Mia’s writing and storytelling is like a drug. Her writing is brilliant and flawless. Storytelling is bewitching and hypnotic. Emotions are raw. And she conjures up characters that are vulnerable, flawed and real. And in her newest release, Easy Virtue, this book was no exception. Simply, this book was spellbinding, captivating and dangerously addicting. Like a drug, I craved this book. I could not put this book down. Literally, I was latching onto every word that was written and was so consumed with the storytelling.

“I look sinful. I look like sex-and that’s what I’m selling. I want men to want me. I want women to be jealous of me. I need to feel desired.”

Easy Virtue is no ordinary love story. If you are expecting a fairytale love story then I’m sorry you will be disappointed. There is no prince charming and shining white knight coming to the rescue. Heck..there is no damsel in distress. There is no happily ever after where the hero and heroine rides off to sunset. No….Easy Virtue is an all consuming twisted love story that is pure torture and angst. It will make you go crazy but yet leave you dangerously addicted and yearning for more. One taste of Easy Virtue, you are hooked.

He’s fucking me so hard it hurts, but it’s a pain that borders on delicious pleasure, like all good things in life.”

Life isn’t perfect. So why expect love to be also? Love isn’t black and white. There is no right and wrong. Love can be complicated and forbidden. It can be consuming and earth shattering. It can provide hope or it can be destructive. So what happens when you realized that there is no such thing as love? What happens when you lost every fiber of hope that you are capable of receiving and giving love? There is only two options… You can try to love again and open up your heart OR you can be that person who doesn’t believe in love and happiness. And in this case, Blaire White is that woman who doesn’t believe in LOVE. All sense of the saving power of love is lost. The hope for love died when she learned that it only makes you weak and vulnerable. Blaire White knows only three things: Sex, Money and Men. She is that woman that every married woman, fiancee, and girlfriends fear. She is the bonafide gold-digger. She is the bitch you want to hate. She personifies what sex is. She is emotionally broken. And yet she is a beautiful mess. She is the unlikely heroine that you want to root for so she can get her HEA. You want her to find love. You want her to accept love. And you want her world to be shaken to the core so she can finally accept that she is indeed lovable. So will Blaire be that girl? Or will she still be the other woman? The gold-digger? The bitch?

“Love is dangerous. Love has the ability of breaking the unbreakable.”

Simply, Blaire is what you would call a “whore” but behind this facade lies a truly broken woman who secretly yearns for love and happiness. Her world and upbringing caused her to be the way she is. Men can’t resist her. She uses her beauty and body to get what she wants. She is young and beautiful and knows it. She will use this to her advantage to make men pay and spoil her with luxurious gifts. So can happiness be bought simply through lavish gifts of Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Prada, and Cartier?? What is the price of happiness?

So what happens when you meet a man who can turn your world upside down? So what happens when you meet a simple man who can show you love? Do you run to it or away? They say love can’t be bought so will Blaire be available to give up this lifestyle she is accustomed to or will she run into the arms of a man who can give spoil her with money, gifts, and sex? What is Blaire’s price? Ronan...the man who is the game-changer or Lawrence...the man who can satisfy her financial needs?

“When I look at you, I see something I really want. Something I need.”

Easy Virtue by Mia Asher seriously should come with a warning label. The label should read “TORTURE” and it may cause you to scream and throw your kindle across the room. Yes, it was one those angsty book that will cause you to message the author and beg her for more. Yes, I was totally screaming at the end of the book “Why Mia, Why?” haha. Did I love Easy Virtue? Absolutely, fucking YES!!! Who says love will always heal everything, sometimes it even is the reason for destruction. In this case, prepare for your heart to get torn apart. Mia Asher will put you on an emotional roller-coaster that makes you question who is the right man for Blaire. Is it Lawrence or is it Ronan? One thing for certain, Blaire is the epitome of what it means to be a beautiful mess? Can this sad girl finally be happy and be able to love?

So if you are looking for a book that is beautifully written and a story that will captivate you, then go read Easy Virtue. I love that Mia Asher’s gives you flawed and raw characters. She does not give you a typical romance story but gives you an honest and raw broken twisted love story. I can’t wait for the next installment to see what Mia has in store for Blaire.

For Now is a simple and sexy love story about two people falling in love when they least expected.

Hazel and Javier are two college students who are friends with Shannon and Jett from the first book For Real. Hazel and Javier became automatic friends being best friends with Shannon and Jett, which of course always puts them in the same place together. Which also gives them a lot of time for playful banters, that they both enjoyed. Since Shannon always stayed with Jett, Javier started to come over to keep Hazel company. And Since Hazel didn’t know how to cook, he wanted to make sure she was fed. So Javier came over almost every night to cook for her, since he was an awesome cook.

After a while, they got used to each other’s company. They started enjoying being around each other, even when studying or watching Gilmore Girls. They knew each other so well, it was just so easy to fall into a routine. At first it was all fun and games, where Javeir usually gets on Hazel nerves….but after a while it became so much more. That one night they decided to cross the line and did a lot of kissing. Kissing they both enjoyed, that made them want more. The next day after a night of kissing Javier started acting weird, so he stayed away from her. That didn’t last long, because both Javier and Hazel could stay away from each other. Apologies happen and everything was oh ok.

After a while the night they both have waited for happened, their first time…it was nothing but sweet and beautiful. At the same time it was fun and rough, they broke the bed after all (lol). Since both of them don’t want a relationship, they kept their relationship a together-esh. They thought if they really started a relationship, it would complicate everything. They thought staying friends with benefits was the best thing to be, no matter how much they enjoyed each other’s company and being together, they tried to keep their real feelings separated.

Can they continue on with this non-relationship when real feelings start to get in the way? Will they lose the chance of real love, with both of them scared of a real relationship or the pain it can bring them? Or will they finally accept how much they care for each other and give a real relationship a try? Read and find out.

I enjoyed reading this story, it was very simple and sweet and I just love Javier. He is a real book boyfriend anyone would enjoy. He is sexy, handsome, sweet, he can cook, his funny, he sounds sexy when he speaks French and great in bed (According to Hazel..hehe).

How long can you resist the temptation between two people who is undeniably hot for each other? No strings attached is what will be the death of them both, well, not literally. This was a page turner from the beginning to the very end. It's the temptation that was uncontrollable that pulled me in and just wanted to get to the bottom of it all.

Hazel is one independent woman who is afraid of commitment. She is in law school and doesn't have time for distraction. She is a bartender by night and has sleeping problems. Well, it changes when Javier offers to make her bed all warm and cozy, so sleep would come. But sleep was not really on the agenda, was it?

As for Javier, he's had a bad childhood and wants nothing to do with his family. But somehow the money that was put away for him is just a painful reminder of how awful his family history was. His grandma Mimi was the one who raised him and the only one he had in his life. But since she passed, he's fulfilling Mimi's dream for him to go to college and be successful in life. He pursues her dream and wants no distraction, meaning no girlfriends ever, since he needs to focus on school. Somehow that changes when he can no longer control the attraction or maybe an obsession, who knows...it'll be a bumpy ride but Hazel and Javier will try this thing called relationship.

Don't let the past define you or it will end up destroying you in the end. Between two people who were so afraid of commitment, who ends up falling for each other. But the gnawing feeling that something bad is going to happen because everything seems too perfect. Will they both end up going their separate way because this is a unchartered territory for both? Or will they both break down the walls they put up when it comes to being committed to one person exclusively?

I highly recommend this book. It was one hot as hell of a ride. Loved the heartfelt love story and it ended how I wanted and then some. Beautiful job Chelsea Cameron. Thank you and I am looking forward to reading more of your writing.

Childhood friends that had a hate/love relationship growing up and then suddenly turned into lovers. How could you not want to read a sweet love story like that? In Leo Maddox by Sarah Darlington, this book chronicles the tale of Leo and his quest of getting the girl he loved. For so long, Leo secretly loved his best friend’s twin sister, Clara Ryder. She was the only one that was on his mind and heart. He was hers and Leo finally makes it his mission to get the girl. And in this book, it follows Leo in his POV how far and deep in love he was with Clara. I loved reading Leo’s POV because you could see how much he was affected with Clara. She was the only one consuming his mind.

So if you are a big fan of childhood friends becoming lovers, then this book is for you. I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet, cute, and had an ending that is fitting for Clara and Leo. My only wish was that we got to know more of Maggie and Dean. Other than that, Leo Maddox was a quick sweet read,.

Leo Maddox is a book all about Leo’s POV. If you read You Belong With Me reading this book is not necessary, unless you really want to dig into Leo’s brain. Almost all of the character interactions are in You Belong With Me, it’s like dejavu all over again. What I did learn from reading this book is, I would have picked Leo over Dean for Maggie if I never read You Belong With Me. This book doesn’t say much about Dean’s character, except how much Leo is not too crazy about him. I am glad I read You Belong With me first before reading Leo’s POV, I am so much more satisfied.

As for Clara, She still didn’t win me over. She’s an ok character and an ok sister. No matter how in love Leo is with Clara I still am more attached to Maggie’s character and if Dean wasn’t around Leo would be the person for Maggie. All in all, Leo Maddox is a great story. Leo is a sweet as ever and a great friend to Maggie. Clara is very lucky to have him.
